Love / Polish Wedding Venue near Krakow [22]

There's plenty of accomodation to be found in Kraków, does it really have to be all in the same place?

News / SUNDAY WITHOUT MASS IN POLAND - Judaeo-leftist Wyborcza gloats [165]

You mean Christianity should be the foundation for our nation's morality and the family should be the basis for our nation's life? I seem to remember reading something rather similar to that somewhere, but I can't quite remember who said it.

David Cameron? John Major? George Bush?

Life / Individualism in Polish culture...Is it almost Nonexistant? [170]

I didn't mean individualism in a fashion sense lol I meant that more people will just tend to look out for themselves, even within families. We don't have the big family get togethers like we used to and no one stays in touch either, quite sad really.

Life / Individualism in Polish culture...Is it almost Nonexistant? [170]

The emphasis on loyalty to and pride in one's family and nation can't be any stronger.

Podolski, Klose, Truchowski, Wozniacki, Lisicki and Wozniak all represent countries other than Poland in sport despite being born in or having Polish parents. I don't see much loyalty and pride here.

I think your post is based on outdated thinking. Things have changed a helluva lot since the fall of Communism and there is a lot of individualism in Polish society now compared to 30 years ago.

News / SUNDAY WITHOUT MASS IN POLAND - Judaeo-leftist Wyborcza gloats [165]

But surely all religion is just mumbo jumbo anyway, an opiate for the masses? I seriously don't think we need an endless debate on theology about whose religion is better at worshipping imaginery cloud dwelling deities.

News / SUNDAY WITHOUT MASS IN POLAND - Judaeo-leftist Wyborcza gloats [165]

Just taking the post-WW2 period, when church-going was the norm and people at least tried to keep the 10 Cmmandments, there were fewer unhappy children, broken homes, shopliftings and common crime than in our 'anything-goes', 'feel-good' world devoid of restraints, values and even common sense..

I stopped going to church when I was 17 yet it didn't stop me bringing my children up with a decent sense of morality and values but in a non-religious environment. If people feel they need religion as a crutch then that's fine by me but I can live a good life without some priest, minister, pastor, imam or rabbi lecturing me.

Travel / Ryanair travel by air - subtle scams to be wary of [98]

I try to avoid Ryanair like the plague. Luckily most of my flying between the UK and Poland these days is done between cities where Wizzair flies to. I have never had any problems with them and sometimes it's worked out cheaper for me to fly to Warsaw with Wizzair then get the train down to Kraków rather than fly direct to Kraków with Easyjet or Ryanair.

UK, Ireland / Are british getting ready to expell "Eastern Europeans" ? [16]

I think you ought to be more appreciative towards a country that took in much of your unemployable village peasants.

Yes, these unemployable peasants have found work in the UK doing work the unemployable English chavs don't want to do

Don't worry Grzegorz, there's no way they will expel us, unfortunately, their economy is in a bad enough way as it is without expelling their hardest workers.

News / Don't go to Poland ... because you could end up coming back in a coffin [313]

When the last time were there any serious problems during international matches in Poland ?

I have been to most of the international games IN poland in the last ten years and the only time I have seen any trouble was when England were here. However I have also been to many games outside Poland and sadly there's been quite a lot of trouble; Kaunas, Bratislava, Prague, Maribor, Belgrade but also I was in Brussels in November 2006 when 15,000 Polish fans descended on the city, practically drank the place dry and turned it into a red & white party yet there was not one single arrest and the chief of police and the mayor of Brussels went on record praising the behaviour of the Polish fans.

The "British disease" is still with them, as I witnessed in Stuttgart in June 2006 and of course you have the EDL numpties causing trouble nearly every weekend in one town or another. Every country has its problems, some are worse than others, but we can always expect the holier than thou BBC to magnify the problem.

Is the Nick Lowles the communist Europhobe and former Searchlight editor?

Don't know anything about the guy but is he one of the bandwagonist "all Poles are anti-semitic" brigade?

Yes, he's the one and the same but I think he's more Socialist Worker's Party than Communist. Here's what his latest contribution to the publishing world looks like

The magazine cover was first described as "a recent picture at a Polish national team game" but when I questioned them about which game they started fumbling about a bit and then after more severe questioning it's now apparently "a montage of images taken from various games in Poland in recent months". Of course it's designed to clearly misrepresent supporters of the national team as being a bunch of Nazis. They are getting quite a bashing on Facebook from me about this image.

News / Don't go to Poland ... because you could end up coming back in a coffin [313]

If Panorama and the BBC were truly sincere and not just seeking sensationalist headlines days before a major tournament is about to start then maybe this programme should have been made and aired months and months ago instead of less than 2 weeks before the tournament starts when thousands of people have already made their travel and accommodation arrangements and it's too late to back out now. If that had happened then maybe they would have done both countries a service and forced the governments to clamp down on this issue sooner.

News / Why are many Poles anti-Euro2012 [16]

Many organised football groups, the ultras and the kibole(hooligans) are protesting/boycotting for a couple of reasons. 1) because the Polish FA are seen as corrupt and are always criticising supporters to hide their own failings & 2) they see the Euros as something that represents all that is wrong with modern football ie commercialisation, corporate interests being put first over that of the fans and the ridiculously high prices for the tickets.

Love / Polish girls call themselves sensitive and easily to be hurt, but how if they hurt others [35]

Personally I think the OP has tried hitting on several Polish girls and worn out all the usal chat up lines eg you're beautiful, I like you, I love you, do you like me etc etc etc all within the space within 4-5 hours of meeting the object of his desire. What has probably happened then is that one or two of them have then decided to string him along by getting him to buy drinks and/or food for her and he's then thought he's on to a sure thing not realising that the girls have seen through his blatant BS and they're not interested. Slighted by these setbacks he then comes on to polishforums.com in the hope that the girl who strung him along reads this forum and actually gives a ****. Or am I being too cynical? :D

News / Poland's Economy Is Booming! The EU's Success Story? [711]

It has taken 100's of years for the UK to develop it's economy from the beginnings of the Empire

You mean stealing resources from conquered lands. Yes, i think any country could grow very rich by acting in such a way. So whilst England was growing rich at the expense of it's plunder, Poland was being plundered by our neighbours.

How long did it take Germany's economy to recover after the war? Not long. Maybe if Poland had benefitted from the Marshall Plan money like the Western Allies did, Poland's economy would be on a par with the rest of Western Europe today but seeing as your country sold us down the river to the Russians then all Poland got was Stalinist ideology and the country enslaved to the needs of its Russian overlords. So let's call the UK investment into Poland and accepting Polish workers as small payback for being duplicitous twats during WW2.

News / Polish children boosting standards among English pupils, study suggests [16]

So? What difference does it make? The USA is full of immigrants anyway. In case you'd forgotten, even English is a foreign language as it was imported by the conquering colonialists. How many Americans whose 1st language is English actually speak a foreign language or even try to learn?

I am sure the article mentioned that results for maths had shown a marked improvement and that the work ethic shown by the Polish pupils was having a positive influence on their British classmates.

UK, Ireland / Sooo many Polski Sklep in the UK, LOL [64]

Sorry,Hudsonhicks,where do you live again,the 1950s?

I'm guessing he's one of these EDLers who like to hang around car parks every weekend with his colleagues from the football hooligan intelligentsia.

Unlike some foreign Pole

As opposed to non-foreign Poles I guess?

I seriously don't know what you have to complain about. No one is forcing you to shop in Polish shops. There is obviously a demand for the products they sell and if there wasn't they'd soon close.

As for Kubus, have you read the ingrediets list on it???? It is full of crap colourings.

Bought a bottle in Tesco tonight and there's not a single colouring or E number included on the list of ingredients.

News / Polish children boosting standards among English pupils, study suggests [16]

Really? I'm not trying to argue with you guys but here in the US, your countrymen live more for themselves, have their own shops, pubs etc. Most of them don't even speak English well (and that after living here for many years).

Go to Miami and see how well the Cubans and Haitians have integrated. Spanish is the most widely spoken language there and parts of Miami all you hear is Creole. Birds of a feather stick together.

i think it is good to see Poles integrating well into British society.

We always did. We integrated well into the RAF, the army, the navy and your jobs back in the 40s. Now we're integrating well into your jobs and benefits system in the 21st century. ;D

News / Poland's Economy Is Booming! The EU's Success Story? [711]

you tell me how a country can survive and by allegidly successfull when the majority of it's earnings are going back out of the country?

What about the British economy. Most of the water companies are foreign owned, Nestlé, Kraft Foods, T-Mobile, Nissan, Vauxhall, oh, and not forgetting those traditional "British" supermarkets Lidl and Aldi are all foreign owned. Even Dyson Vacs moved their manufacturing over to China years ago so if you think Poland's economy is built on dodgy foundations then what do you think the British one is? Oh yeah, British economy is officially in double dip recession, isn't it? Anyway, if things are so bad over in Poland feel free to come back to the UK.

Life / Let`s compare prices of services and products in Poland [359]

I've never paid more than 10 in krakow.

Don't go to that cellar jazz bar on the Rynek up by the Mariacki then, you'd definitely pay more than 10 there.

It's 15 in some places in Warsaw - more than that in the big hotels.

Only place where I'd pay that is the Browaria on Krakowskie Przedmiescie.
